The Odyssey

Thirty-eight entries, each with a red-figure portrait and the scene that defines it.

Fourteen stops, on the world the poem describes and on the one tradition put it in.

Who loves, helps, hunts and holds whom — including the ties from beyond Homer.

Fourteen moments worth knowing, quoted verbatim and placed in their book.

The Odyssey against Joyce, the New Testament, Virgil, and its own translators.

What the poem is, whose translation this is, and why it is free to read.
